Preview for 5.0.5 (live)?

Gigasax

I, and probably a "few" others, would like to see the changes made to skills and balance in advance to the live patch on monday. The changes should be finalized by now, i guess.
It would be great for prepping chars for the new raid etc..

Can we expect to see something like that?

Don't expect any big changes. Personally I cant believe theyre letting the Goliath ultimate go live with its 25-30k AOE bash attack thats pretty much a spammable while they still have access to all their normal skills. It's an unprecedented amount of damage not to mention the 30k extra health. Groups will be cleaning keeps with 4 of these and a healer. The incap silence is easier to digest but terribly lopsided against magicka and a poor idea.

But most of all I cant believe the devs just spent 5 weeks nerf buffing (for lack of a better phrase) stamina NBs while all but ignoring other classes, paying no attention at all to those that needed it most. As I've said before, if Wrathstone had me excited for this upcoming year with the changes to the combat team, this patch has brought me firmly back to reality.

Nothing new here - every quarterly launch for as long as I can remember has essentially been a preview, with wildly unbalanced content and unfixed bugs making it to the live game.

PTS cycles need to be substantially longer, and/or the devs need to be MAJORLY more responsive to testing feedback.

i know that, but it would be nice if we know any (bigger) changes, if there are any, before the patch goes live.
i´m still hoping for some changes to necros. i really dont want to see the stamblade meta get changed to stamcro´s instead xD

It would be nice, but has that ever happened before?

Usually it's a big ol patch day surprise.
